Serving Salem

Taking your boat out onto Nahant Bay during the summer creates unparalleled summer fun. During the colder winter months, it's nice to have a safe place to keep your summer gear. Life Storage offers convenient vehicle and boat parking along with extended access hours, so you can get to your belongings on your schedule. Find our storage facility just north of Floating Bridge Pond.

Our 435 Highland Avenue location has been providing self storage in Boston since 1998. With over 700 locations nationwide, Life Storage is one of the largest, most reputable self storage companies in the world. Founded in 1985, we were formerly known as Uncle Bob's Self Storage until changing our name in 2016.

"While I hope to never need to place my enire home in a storage unit again, if I ever need to - I hope Jessica is there to take care of me. She delivered by far the best customer service I have ever experience in any busines. Uncle Bob's [Life Storage] corporate office should be utilizing her in a higher capacity or someon might recruit her to another company - like mine! "

"I've been using Uncle Bob's as a storage facility for over 5 years now. My only dislike is that I never get discounts for longevity. However, the customer service that I've received in both the past and present has made me trust and appreciate the employees at the Salem, MA facility. That, in itself, has been wonderfully invaluable."
